The Electronic Report Line (ERL®) is an essential risk management tool that offers a simple, efficient, and secure method of reporting incidents, misconduct, or grievances related to fraud, harassment, discrimination, hazing, violence, alcohol, theft, embezzlement, among other matters. Utilizing ERL’s technology-based initiatives, conscientious organizations can provide an open avenue of communication for reporting incidents without fear of retribution. This type of reporting procedure is not only required for all public organizations under Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, but it can also help organizations establish the Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense under Federal employment discrimination statutes. No organization can afford to do without it.
ERL is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are always open and available, so you don’t have to be.
